Slightly annoying but very memorable:


I keep thinking of the minimalist ascending figure that loops in YLT's "Everyday".

Even though the guitars are more striking, this one had a killer backing synth line too.

"Vigilante" is a good track. Millennium is a great-sounding record. They just played with Ministry and Gary Numan a couple of nights ago.



I might've mentioned this before but it bears repeating: as a teen playing in forest preserves and such I'd imagine being a knight wielding a sword while Jon Lord's solo in "Burn" soundtracked my campaign.

EDIT: I'd also imagine these campaigns set to "Seven Seas" by TNT but there are no synths in it.

chicken dinner!



An all-time favorite that never fails aiding in the rush of endorphins. The fat funked synth hook is a smiler. Hard to believe he knocked it out of the park a bit earlier with a cover of "Everlasting Love."

For a long time my favourite, but no particular element is distinct enough for this purpose.
I can respect that - there's no 'riff' really in it, but I think it has the best two synth sounds of any SP song.

That aDuck track was great, never heard that, thanks!
